Patrick Leigh Fermor's travel book on the Mani peninsula in southern Greece. Leigh Fermor visited the area in the 1950s with his future wife Joan Eyres Monsell and Xan Fielding. The book's focus is on the geography of the area, as well as 'digressions on religion, icons, superstitions, history and mythology'. Whilst his companions are little present in the text, Eyres Monsell's photographs richly illustrate the book. After their marriage the couple built a magnificent house in the Mani which is now owned by the Benaki Museum. John Craxton, who shared an affinity with Leigh Fermor for Greece and illustrated a number of his books, supplied the jacket and frontispiece design.

The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The first UK trade issue, preceded by the Queen Anne Press limited edition. An exposition of the monasteries of the Abbey of Saint Wandrille, Solesmes Abbey and La Grande Trappe, along with the abandoned rock monasteries of Cappadocia near Urgub, which Fermor visited during the 1950s. At the first, he recounts the Abbey's great collection of art, at the second the importance of Gregorian chant, and at Cappadocia he attempts to trace the lives of the earliest Christian anchorites. A relatively short work limited to some 95 pages, the author further explores his personal journey, and the meaning of silence and solitude in modern life. In the seclusion of a cell", Fermor writes, "-an existence whose quietness is only varied by the silent meals, the solemnity of ritual, and long solitary walks in the woods-the troubled waters of the mind grow still and clear, and much that is hidden away and all that clouds it floats to the surface and can be skimmed away; and after a time one reaches a state of peace that is unthought of in the ordinary world.
